BRICS plans an alternative to the IMF

Russia has urged its BRICS partners to establish an alternative to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to counteract political pressure from Western nations. This proposal comes as BRICS finance ministers and central bank officials gather in Moscow.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, hosting the meeting, emphasized that the global financial system is dominated by Western countries.
He called for the group, which represents 37% of the global economy, to create a financial institution independent of Western control.
"The IMF and the World Bank are not performing their roles. They are not working in the interests of BRICS countries;
It is necessary to form new conditions or even new institutions, similar to the Bretton Woods institutions, but within the framework of our community, within the framework of BRICS," Siluanov said on the first day of the meeting.

Taiwan's Currency Backed by Gold Reserves: Central Bank

A central bank official announced on Friday that Taiwan holds around 422 tonnes of gold in reserve, managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support the national currency.
Of this, 410 tonnes are dedicated to backing the issuance of New Taiwan dollars, while a smaller portion is used every four years to mint commemorative coins for the inauguration of the president and vice president.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan ranks 12th globally in gold reserves.
Despite a significant increase in gold's value since its purchase in the 1970s, the central bank is not buying or selling its reserves.
Taiwan's unrealized gain from these reserves is nearly NT$900 billion due to gold's appreciation.

National coin shortage getting worse

The nation's coin shortage, prompted by less cash circulating as a result of Covid-19 - is getting worse.
And believe it or not, cash is still being used in 49% of payments that are $10 or below, according to a recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
The irony of the situation lies in the fact that the Fed can print trillions for bonds, but can't come up with a couple of quarters to do its laundry.
